Chapter 483: My Precious Daughter’s Help, Lu Quanzhen Reaches Foundation Establishment Stage Nine!

“Hmm?”

Lu Changsheng had just rushed back to Immortal Spider Market when he saw Nangong Mili and Nangong Yaoyao both looking hurried. He quickly called out: “Yaoyao, Mili?”

“Dad!”

Hearing this, Nangong Yaoyao’s face immediately lit up with joy.

Nangong Mili, standing beside her, also froze for a moment and then let out a sigh of relief.

“Yaoyao, what’s going on with you two?”

Lu Changsheng noticed Nangong Mili and his daughter both appeared to be in a hurry.

“Dad, I’m here to bid you farewell,”

Nangong Yaoyao said, clasping her skirt in both hands and gently biting her lip.

“Farewell!?”

Lu Changsheng frowned slightly.

He had only just arrived in the Jin Kingdom, so why was his daughter saying goodbye?

“Yesterday, an emissary from the Immortal Lotus Sect, the White Lotus True Lord, took me as a disciple. I will be leaving for Immortal Lotus Sect soon, so I can’t stay by your side anymore.”

The young girl in a purple dress slightly lifted her head, her sparkling eyes turning red.

“Immortal Lotus Sect!? White Lotus True Lord!”

Previously, Lu Changsheng had intended to ask about what Immortal Lotus Sect was doing at the Five Poison Sect.

He never expected that in the blink of an eye, his daughter would be chosen by a Nascent Soul True Lord and taken as a disciple.

What the heck?

“Hmm.”

Nangong Yaoyao slightly pursed her delicate lips, briefly described the Immortal Lotus Sect’s situation.

She then smiled brightly and assured her father that he need not worry, saying she would take good care of herself.

“Sigh.”

Hearing this, Lu Changsheng let out a long sigh.

In fact, having his daughter join Immortal Lotus Sect and become a disciple of a Nascent Soul True Lord was a good thing for him.

This meant his daughter would certainly reach Golden Core Formation and there was a good chance of her breaking through to Nascent Soul.

But allowing her to go to such a demonic sect still made him uneasy.

However, since things were already settled, he couldn’t change it.

“Don’t be sad, Dad. Once I achieve success in my cultivation, I’ll come back to visit you and Mom.”

The young girl smiled sweetly, held Lu Changsheng’s hand, and walked over to her mother.

In her innocent and lively manner, she said, “Yaoyao’s only wish is to return and see Dad and Mom living in harmony.”

As she spoke, she clasped her mother’s fair hand and joined it with her father’s.

“Alright.”

Lu Changsheng glanced at his daughter, then at Nangong Mili, thinking to himself that no father could dislike such a sensible little girl.

For once, Nangong Mili didn’t dismiss him as a dog and didn’t pull away from his hand, letting their daughter join them together.

Afterward, Nangong Yaoyao felt like something was missing. She thought for a moment and quietly said to Lu Changsheng, “Dad, at this time, stop using your disguise!”

Lu Changsheng chuckled, and a flow of chaotic energy washed over his elegant and handsome face, reverting it to his true appearance.

“If you joined the Immortal Lotus Sect, you might even attract the attention of the sect’s Grand Elder.”

Nangong Yaoyao blinked playfully at her father, teasing as she marveled at his noble and divine appearance.

Though spoken jokingly, there wasn’t a hint of falsehood.

The main reason was Lu Changsheng’s extraordinary demeanor.

Like a tall tree on a lonely mountain, he gave off an ethereal, immortal vibe that attracted people like a gentle spring breeze, making them feel a natural closeness.

Even Nangong Mili, who disliked Lu Changsheng, agreed with her daughter’s words.

This dog man’s looks and aura, though not as pure as those of White Lotus True Lord, also had an overwhelming appeal.

Back in the Heavenly Yuan Secret Realm, even she had been affected by him.

She even believed that, given this dog man’s nature, if he broke through to Nascent Soul in the future, his charm might surpass that of White Lotus True Lord.

“Yaoyao, when you get to Immortal Lotus Sect, be sure to take care of yourself. If you come across trouble, endure for a moment and then write to me.”

Lu Changsheng smiled warmly and spoke gently.

He then retrieved a thick stack of talismans from his Storage Ring and said, “Be careful when you’re out. You lack some means of self-defense. These talismans can help protect you.”

“Dad…”

Nangong Yaoyao was a little shocked seeing so many talismans.

Back when they were in the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range, Lu Changsheng had told her that she lacked offensive means and should carry more talismans for protection. He had given her a stack of talismans then.

Now, there was another thick stack, with at least forty or fifty talismans.

Moreover, judging by the look of it, these talismans were all Second-Tier peak and Third-Tier Talismans!

Even Nangong Mili was surprised by Lu Changsheng’s generosity.

After all, Third-Tier Talismans were rare.

Even for her, it was difficult to collect dozens at once.

“Maybe this dog man really is a talisman repairer?”

Nangong Mili looked at Lu Changsheng with surprised eyes.

“Here is the complete ‘Six Desires Demon Heart Manual.’ You should study it carefully while you practice. Don’t rush.”

“Also, this technique called ‘Immortal Grace Technique’ will be helpful to you in Immortal Lotus Sect. If necessary, you can hand it over to the sect in exchange for benefits.”

Lu Changsheng handed over two Jade Slips to his daughter.

Earlier, he had only taught her the first two levels of the Six Desires Demon Heart Manual.

Now that she was heading to Immortal Lotus Sect, he held nothing back.

As for the Immortal Grace Technique, with his daughter’s appearance, she might not need it.

But since Immortal Lotus Sect valued this aspect, he wanted to give her as much help as possible.

If it didn’t work out, at least this technique could be exchanged for benefits within Immortal Lotus Sect.

“Dad…”

Nangong Yaoyao looked into her father’s expressive eyes, deeply moved by his selfless love for her.

“It’s not as if you can’t come back from Immortal Lotus Sect.”

“And if you don’t have time, your mom and I can also visit you at the sect.”

Lu Changsheng spoke tenderly and then glanced at Nangong Mili, squeezing her delicate hand.

“Yaoyao, just take these. Mom can come to visit you at Immortal Lotus Sect in the future too.”

Nangong Mili shot Lu Changsheng a glare, but didn’t pull her hand back. She spoke warmly, her gaze full of love.

Seeing Lu Changsheng’s genuine and selfless love for their daughter, her impression of him improved slightly.

She thought that if this dog man didn’t spend his days sweet-talking women and being overly lustful, he wouldn’t be so bad.

“Hmm!”

The young girl smiled brightly, pleased to see the apparent improvement in her parents’ relationship.

She then turned apologetically toward Lu Changsheng and said, “Dad, I know about Quanzhen. If you find him, please apologize for me. I didn’t mean any harm back then.”

“No problem. It’s a small world. Once I find him, I’ll introduce you two properly.”

Lu Changsheng smiled.

“Hmm.”

Nangong Yaoyao nodded eagerly.

She then looked to her mother, blinking her eyes pitifully, and said, “Mom, if you have time, could you help find Quanzhen too? He’s being hunted by Ghost Demon Realman. It must be really dangerous.”

Nangong Mili understood that her daughter was giving her a chance to improve her relationship with Lu Changsheng.

In the past, she would have ignored it completely.

In her eyes, the fact that Lu Changsheng’s son hadn’t been killed by her already was a mercy. She certainly wouldn’t help him.

But now, seeing the hopeful look in her daughter’s eyes, she softened and nodded, her eyes filled with warmth.

“Thank you, Mom.”

Nangong Yaoyao instantly beamed with joy.

“No need to thank me, my child.”

Nangong Mili’s tone was gentle, her face full of affection, showing none of her usual cold and ruthless demeanor.

However, when she looked at Lu Changsheng, she immediately wore an icy and noble expression, speaking indifferently: “I’ll take Yaoyao back. I’ll have someone investigate Quanzhen’s whereabouts.”

“If there’s news, we’ll reach him as soon as possible. You can continue to Ancient Ghost Immortal City.”

Even though her opinion of Lu Changsheng had improved, she still showed him no warmth.

“Alright, Mili, I’ll leave it to you.”

Lu Changsheng didn’t mind her attitude.

Patience is needed; you eat one bite at a time.

If it weren’t for their daughter stepping in, this woman wouldn’t help find his son, even if her heart had softened a bit.

At that moment, Lu Changsheng realized how precious his daughter was to Nangong Mili.

And he understood why Nangong Mili was so anxious whenever he mentioned seeing their daughter.

Their daughter was her weakest spot!

“Hmm, Dad, take care. Yaoyao will miss you!”

Nangong Yaoyao didn’t say much more to Lu Changsheng.

She had already delayed long enough in Immortal Spider Market.

“Alright, when your mom and I have time, we’ll come visit you.”

Lu Changsheng spoke earnestly.

As soon as he finished speaking, Nangong Mili activated her Magical Treasure, shooting off into the sky and soon disappearing from sight.

“Whew!”

Lu Changsheng took a deep breath and exhaled a long sigh, feeling a bit of inexplicable melancholy.

However, he felt somewhat relieved that he had made it back in time to say goodbye to his daughter.

Otherwise, who knew how long it would be before they saw each other again.

At that moment, he remembered his children left in the Golden Sun Sect in the Yue Kingdom.

Now that he had the ‘Heavenly Yuan Imperial Lotus,’ he could try to transplant the ‘Bizarre Prison Demon Flower’ into it once he returned home, and bring Lu Miaoge and Lu Miaohuan to isit them in Yue Kingdom.

And now that he had the Golden-Winged Roc, traveling to and from the Yue Kingdom would be much easier.

Lu Changsheng didn’t think much more about it and entered the Market. He knew Meng Xiaochan had sent him a message about his daughter’s departure, but didn’t say much.

He just asked her to speak to Nangong Mili later about Lu Quanzhen’s information and notify her directly if there were any updates, then rode the Golden-Winged Roc toward the Ancient Ghost Immortal City.

On a purple flying fabric.

“Yaoyao, Mom doesn’t have much to give you, but keep this Mysterious Pearl with you.”

Nangong Mili couldn’t think of a better gift for her daughter.

After all, her daughter lacked nothing.

Lu Changsheng insisted that their daughter lacked offensive methods.

In reality, she had already prepared many trump cards for her daughter.

But when Yaoyao went with Lu Changsheng to Myriad Beasts Mountain Range, it wasn’t the place to use such methods just to kill a few demon beasts.

Besides, now that her daughter was apprenticed to a Nascent Soul True Lord, she wouldn’t lack anything in the future either.

So Nangong Mili decided to give her the Mysterious Pearl that Lu Changsheng had given her.

Through use, she knew this pearl was excellent for disguise.

No ordinary Golden Core cultivator could see through its camouflage!

With this Mysterious Pearl, if her daughter needed to go out on a mission from Immortal Lotus Sect, it would be much more convenient.

“Mysterious Pearl?”

Nangong Yaoyao looked at the small egg-sized, gray pearl shrouded in mist.

“Yes.”

Nangong Mili erased her imprint on it and explained the Pearl’s effects to her daughter.

At the end, she added, “This Mysterious Pearl was also given to me by your father, so it’s perfect for you too.”

“Dad gave it to you?”

The young girl blinked, her eyebrows arched in a smile, and she teased, “Is this the keepsake Dad gave you when he proposed?”

“Keepsake?”

Nangong Mili froze, realizing it did seem that way.

But remembering how that dog man only changed his attitude because she was pregnant with their daughter, she snorted coldly and said, “It’s just an ordinary Rare Treasure.”

“Since it’s a keepsake from Dad to Mom, I can’t possibly accept it.”

Nangong Yaoyao laughed and waved it off.

But Nangong Mili still placed the Mysterious Pearl in her hand and added some valuable materials from her Storage Ring just in case her daughter needed any Spirit Stones in Immortal Lotus Sect.

A mother’s heart worries even from thousands of miles away, only wishing for her daughter’s safety.

Even if Nangong Mili is known as ruthless by many cultivators, she was still a mother who wanted to give her daughter the best.

Meanwhile, inside the Blood Fiend Gourd.

Lu Quanzhen sat cross-legged in a pool of blood. His face was twisted in pain, and his skin was marked by eerie, dark blood patterns.

Behind him, a shadow of Kun Peng roared as it devoured billowing demon energy, ghost energy, and blood fiends, endlessly refining it.

But this kind of energy was far beyond Lu Quanzhen’s capacity.

No matter how overpowering Kun Peng Devouring Heaven Demonic Technique was, it couldn’t devour this much energy wildly.

At that moment, Lu Quanzhen looked like a demon, his eyes glowing blood-red, his once black hair now gray and blood-stained.

“It’s still not enough, far from enough!”

He could feel demonic intent, ghost energy, and blood fiend energy corroding his flesh and even impacting his Sea of Consciousness.

If he continued, he would lose himself, driven mad, turning completely into a demon.

But he had no path of retreat.

If he stopped now, while it might release some of the tension, he would be waiting for death, with no way to escape the Gourd.

The only option was to keep increasing his strength and wait for an opportunity.

When Ghost Demon Realman opened the Gourd, or when Lu Quanzhen reached his limit, he planned to use Kun Peng’s Blood Burning Technique and his last-resort methods to break open the Gourd.

In Ancient Ghost Immortal City.

After arriving in the city, Lu Changsheng immediately went to Shadow Pavilion to purchase information on Qu Changtian and Ghost Demon Realman.

But there wasn’t much info on Qu Changtian, similar to what Meng Xiaochan had collected.

After all, no one would focus on a Foundation Establishment cultivator all the time.

He then looked for information on Ghost Demon Realman.

He found out Ghost Demon Realman had come out of seclusion and was personally hunting down Lu Quanzhen.

Ten days ago, he appeared at a place called Black Rock Mountain and was being chased by Old Ghost Zhentian.

After reading this, Lu Changsheng bought another piece of information, learning that Old Ghost Zhentian was a rogue cultivator of considerable strength and a long-time enemy of Ghost Demon Realman, constantly waiting in ambush to strike.

“Trying to find someone using this information is too difficult, too difficult.”

Lu Changsheng felt a bit agitated.

Without his own network, just relying on a place like Shadow Pavilion made it hard to get the latest news on Lu Quanzhen or Ghost Demon Realman.

Even if he got information about them, by the time it arrived, they’d probably be long gone.

“I hope Quanzhen is alright.”

Lu Changsheng could only pray in his heart and paid Shadow Pavilion to keep looking for Lu Quanzhen.

The truth was, these intelligence organizations were really expensive.

Even without confirming anything, just starting to look for a Foundation Establishment cultivator like Lu Quanzhen would cost thirty thousand Spirit Stones.

If actual news was obtained, the price would depend on the situation.

Concerned about his son’s safety, Lu Changsheng wasn’t stingy with the Spirit Stones and waited for information in Ancient Ghost Immortal City.

Meanwhile.

In the Five Poison Sect.

After her daughter left with White Lotus True Lord, Nangong Mili also activated her network to gather information on Qu Changtian and Ghost Demon Realman.

A few days later, she received news that Ghost Demon Realman was caught in Black Fiend Valley by Old Ghost Zhentian.

“Old Ghost Zhentian?”

Nangong Mili’s eyes were cold and shimmering.

As a Golden Core cultivator in Jin Kingdom, she naturally knew about the enmity between Ghost Demon Realman and Old Ghost Zhentian.

Years ago, in a secret realm, Ghost Demon Realman tricked Old Ghost Zhentian and stole his opportunity, causing their bitter rivalry.

Though Old Ghost Zhentian was stronger, he feared the Yin Ghost Sect so he only heavily injured Ghost Demon Realman, not killing him outright.

As a result, Ghost Demon Realman spent decades recovering from his injuries and was a joke among the Golden Core cultivators.

“In that case, I should confirm if Ghost Demon Realman has found Lu Quanzhen.”

After thinking for a moment, Nangong Mili decided to visit Black Fiend Valley.

After all, finding Ghost Demon Realman was easier than finding Lu Quanzhen.

If Lu Quanzhen hid in some mountain range or small town, unless she hired a divination master, finding him would be as hard as plucking stars.

It would be better to confirm Lu Quanzhen’s situation through Ghost Demon Realman.

In Ancient Ghost Immortal City.

Lu Changsheng had been anxiously waiting for updates from Shadow Pavilion for some time, feeling a constant sense of foreboding.

“Buzz!”

Suddenly, a flow of Spiritual Energy surged into his body, accompanied by the system’s voice.

[Congratulations to the host’s first offspring for reaching Foundation Establishment Level Nine, earning a high-level lottery chance!]

“Hmm!? Foundation Establishment Level Nine!?”

Lu Changsheng’s expression changed, realizing it was his son, Lu Quanzhen, who had broken through.

[Name: Lu Quanzhen]

[Lifespan: 60/93]

[Talent: Fourth-Tier Spirit Root]

[Cultivation: Foundation Establishment Level Nine]

[Skill: Battle Compatibility (69%)]

“Damn it!”

Lu Changsheng looked at the system panel but wasn’t pleased at all.

Even though his son had broken through to Foundation Establishment Level Nine, his lifespan was now less than a hundred years.

If this continues, he might run out of life completely.

Something was definitely wrong.

At that moment, Lu Changsheng lost his interest in the lottery.

But thinking that he might win something to help check on his children, he decided to go ahead.

“System, draw the lottery!”

As the thought occurred, a deep red virtual lottery wheel appeared and began to spin.

Moments later, golden light fell on ‘Natural Treasure.’

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Divine Bone: Great Wilderness Dragon Spine!]

[Reward has been sent to system space. Host may check at any time.]

A golden spine appeared in the system space, accompanied by the system’s notification.

“Dragon Spine?”

Lu Changsheng frowned and looked into the system space.

[Great Wilderness Dragon Spine]

[Grade: Tier Four]

[Description: One of the nine sacred bones of Divine Bone Sect. This bone is indestructible, enhances physical strength, absorbs the power of heaven and earth to repair the body, and can be forged into a Great Wilderness Dragon Armor. Requires at least a Third-Tier Body Cultivation to refine.]

Seeing the reward, Lu Changsheng pondered for a moment before shaking his head, feeling no interest despite its value.

Such a Divine Bone was indeed impressive, but it didn’t hold much appeal for him.

And given his son’s current situation, he wasn’t interested in these kinds of rewards anyway.

In a dark, cloud-covered valley.

“Boom, Boom, Boom——”

A giant like an iron tower stood there. Every movement caused terrifying tremors; mountains collapsed, the air twisted, and stone pillars erupted from the ground only to be crushed into powder.

“Pfft!”

Hiding beneath the valley, Ghost Demon Realman let out a muffled groan. Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth as he executed the Blood Ghost Escape once more, turning into a fleeting, blood-red shadow.

“Old ghost Li, is all you know how to do is run? Kneel down and kowtow three times to me, and I might just let you off like a fart!”

Old Ghost Zhentian, a giant of a man, laughed loud and deep, his voice booming like thunder across the land.

Though he was far stronger than Ghost Demon Realman, killing him wasn’t easy.

Besides, Ghost Demon Realman belonged to the Yin Ghost Sect, so Old Ghost Zhentian dared not kill him outright.

A grudge was one thing, beating him to a pulp wouldn’t cause trouble, but killing him would.

Yin Ghost Sect wouldn’t make an enemy out of Old Ghost Zhentian just for that.

But if Old Ghost Zhentian killed Ghost Demon Realman, the situation would change drastically.

It would be a slap to the face of the Yin Ghost Sect!

Killing a Golden Core cultivator would force the sect to take action, or else they would lose prestige.

So every time he found Ghost Demon Realman, Old Ghost Zhentian would severely injure him instead.

“Damn you, Old Ghost Zhentian! One day, I will skin you alive and trap your soul in the Ten Thousand Souls Banner!”

Ghost Demon Realman’s face was twisted in anger and humiliation as he cursed, but he didn’t dare to stop, fleeing with all his might.

Over the decades, he had escaped from Old Ghost Zhentian countless times.

He knew Old Ghost Zhentian was only interested in humiliating and injuring him!

Who knows how long he had been escaping when Ghost Demon Realman’s face turned ghostly pale. Just as he was taking deep breaths, he suddenly sensed an unusual aura.

“Hmm?”

He paused, forming hand seals. As a blood shadow, he started to trace the aura’s source.

Soon, Ghost Demon Realman saw a pool of black mist, roiling with ominous energy.

“That’s the Eye of Nether Fiend!?”

Ghost Demon Realman’s face lit up with joy upon seeing the ominous pool.

He couldn’t believe his luck, stumbling upon the Eye of Nether Fiend.

This Eye could not only produce several Golden Core-level spiritual items, like the ‘Nether Fiend Qi,’

But it could also boost his ‘Blood Fiend Gourd,’ letting it advance to mid-tier!

Without hesitation, he took out a pitch-black Gourd and prepared to absorb the Eye of Nether Fiend.

“I wonder how that kid’s doing?”

With this, he recalled Lu Quanzhen, whom he had thrown into the Gourd.

Back when Old Ghost Zhentian appeared and caught him off guard, he hastily sucked Lu Quanzhen into the Gourd.

Now that he had a moment to breathe, he remembered that a typical Foundation Establishment cultivator could only last ten days in his Gourd before turning into blood.

But judging by the time, Lu Quanzhen had been in the Gourd for nearly a month now.

“If that brat died so easily, it would be letting him off too lightly!”

As soon as he opened the Gourd, Ghost Demon Realman felt a surge of warning signs, realizing that something was wrong.

He saw a blood-red demonic shadow shoot out from the Gourd.

“Kun Peng’s Blood Burning Technique!”

Lu Quanzhen, with blood-red eyes and gray hair, his body surging with demonic energy, burst from the Blood Fiend Gourd and immediately threw a Third-Tier Talisman.

“Boom, Boom, Boom——”

The Third-Tier Thunder Talisman activated instantly, causing immense pain to Lu Quanzhen, tearing his clothes, wounding his body, and making him cough up blood.

In that split second, he released a barrage of Breaking Needles and activated the ‘Avatar Talisman’ in his Sea of Consciousness.

This was one of his last trump cards!

“Buzz!”

The Avatar Talisman burned up, transforming into a mystical force that wrapped around Lu Quanzhen, leaving a puppet in his place as he teleported away.

“You think you can escape!?”

Ghost Demon Realman had been caught off-guard by the sudden Third-Tier Talisman and Breaking Needles.

But when he realized that Lu Quanzhen hadn’t died but actually advanced in cultivation, he knew the boy held great secrets. There was no way he would let him escape.

Enduring his wounds, Ghost Demon Realman unleashed his Magical Domain to trap the fleeing Lu Quanzhen.

“Buzz, Buzz, Buzz——”

Ghosts howled and swarmed like a net, forming a hellscape to trap Lu Quanzhen.

“Kun Peng Devours the Heavens!”

Lu Quanzhen’s Spiritual Energy surged, nearly rivaling that of a Golden Core Formation cultivator. Behind him, the shadow of Kun Peng roared, tearing through Ghost Demon Realman’s domain.

But the Avatar Talisman’s energy was nearly depleted under the domain’s pressure, making escape impossible.

“Old Ghost Li, so you were hiding here!”

At this moment, a towering figure, like a small mountain, stood suspended in the air. It was the almighty Zhen Tian Realman, his voice rolling like thunder.

He saw Lu Quanzhen flying through the air and frowned slightly. With one swift motion, his large hand grabbed Lu Quanzhen, clutching him as if within five mountain peaks.

“Whizz!”

A Six-Winged Golden Silkworm suddenly shot out from Lu Quanzhen’s sleeve, attacking Zhen Tian Realman.

It was brilliant and golden, exuding a fierce, violent aura.

But facing a Golden Core Formation Realman and Body Tempering master, no matter how miraculous this Six-Winged Golden Silkworm was, it couldn’t cause any harm to Zhen Tian Realman.

“Hmm, is that… a Six-Winged Golden Silkworm?”

Zhen Tian Realman inspected the bloodthirsty and violent Six-Winged Golden Silkworm, gazed at it for a few moments, and then smiled in delight.

Even for someone of his level, such a rare and exotic insect was a fine treasure.

It could be used as a spirit pet or for Equipment Refining, even for refining pills.

“Kid, you’re the one who killed Li Laogui’s son, ‘Qu Changtian,’ right? Bold move!”

Then, turning to Lu Quanzhen, who was pale-faced, with blood-red eyes and a thin frame, Zhen Tian Realman began to laugh loudly, his voice like rolling thunder.

But the next moment, his laughter stopped as he noticed something off about Lu Quanzhen.

“Tsk, tsk, tsk… What have you done to yourself? Your body is filled with Netherworld demonic energy, Yin spirit qi, and blood fiend energy. Even your dantian and Dao Foundation have been polluted. Your Spiritual Energy is wild and chaotic, surging back through your meridians.”

Zhen Tian Realman clicked his tongue in surprise, finding Lu Quanzhen to be an exceptionally determined person, for someone to put themselves in such a state.

Indeed, without a certain toughness and endurance, ordinary people couldn’t manage such a feat.

“Uuurgh…!”

At this moment, Lu Quanzhen could not speak. His body blazed with pain, as if being sliced apart by thousands of knives. He let out a low growl, like a wild beast.

His condition had already deteriorated considerably, and now using the ‘Kun Peng’s Blood Burning Technique’ had pushed him to the brink.

Now that Zhen Tian Realman had subdued him and the Secret Technique ceased its operation, the aftereffects kicked in immediately.

His essence blood was drained, Spiritual Energy reversed, and the demon qi, ghost qi, and blood fiend energy within him started to run amok, eroding both his flesh and consciousness.

“Damn it!”

Ghost Demon Realman appeared just in time to see Lu Quanzhen captured by Zhen Tian Realman, his face dark with anger.

He had invested a great deal of effort, time, and energy into capturing Lu Quanzhen.

But with one slip, Lu Quanzhen had managed to escape his hands.

If word got out that a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator escaped from him, he would become the laughing stock.

Now that Lu Quanzhen had fallen into Zhen Tian Realman’s hands, it was only a matter of time before this incident would spread throughout the Jin Kingdom’s cultivation world!

“Li Laogui, you’re truly worthless! You let a mere Foundation Establishment junior escape from your grasp, ha ha ha!”

Zhen Tian Realman mocked Ghost Demon Realman, his voice booming, making Ghost Demon Realman’s face twitch.

At their level, reputation was of utmost importance.

To lose to Zhen Tian Realman, considering his strength, was somewhat bearable.

But letting a Foundation Establishment stage junior slip away was utterly embarrassing!

“Whoosh—”

While the two men were locked in a standoff, a purple cloud scarf suddenly descended from the sky. On top of it stood a woman, with a stunning cold beauty and an alluring figure, wearing a luxurious purple dress.

She glanced at Ghost Demon Realman and Zhen Tian Realman, then at Lu Quanzhen trapped in Zhen Tian Realman’s hand.
